A night out.

Saturday night was date night:) Gotta love that. It's just the two of us...pretty much all the time, but Sunday is the husbands day off. Soooooo Saturday night..we can venture out like a normal couple!

Surprisingly, one town away ( approx. a 45 min drive) is an adorable movie theatre. The Roxy. Its one of those charming theatres you see in movies; brightly lit marquis displaying the feature presentation. A sweet woman waiting behind the sliding window to sell us a ticket with a cheerful "enjoy the show!!" Buttery popcorn and a plethora of sweets to choose from, followed by a delicious "pop"(as they say in the Midwest) all for a whopping $4.75! ( I had to pick my jaw up off the floor before the man could return my quarter and send me along my way..) We padded our way through the musty hallway and up the steep stairwell to the balcony, reserved for 21 and up. Quite lovely, especially since I think every seat downstairs was spilling over with the towns' 15 and under..it was Saturday night after all. So we nestled into our rickety old fashion chairs, popped our legs up and enjoyed the show. I ingeniously tucked a nice little bottle of wine in my bag, as the sign did say "21 and up," I felt it was only appropriate. So with the quick swish of a screw top ( so fabulous, as I always seem to forget my wine opener when sneaking booze into theatres...) and my 2 handy Super 8 plastic cups, we had ourselves a fine little date night.

It was sort of a simple nod to old time tradition. Husband and wife, off to enjoy the current picture and a little vino on a Saturday night. No muss and fuss, no fancy restaurant or boisterous bar. Just he and I and a little old world charm.
